Yes, the JK Antennas 3 element beam is amazing! I have never ever had 
anything like it! They produce very good antennas. The only small issue 
I have is with their WARC beam. Works great on 17/12 but on 30m it is 
acting weird (2 el). Front-to-back is poor so there is some issue of 
coupling the reflector to the radiatior. It tunes too low in frequency 
and Ken is thinking that this is the culprit. It will need some tuning 
at some point but that requires climbing up there to do it. But it still 
works fairly well in its current state.
